@sloppyJoe or anybody else who might have the answer
How do you know, that ab-inition programme is closed for non HKID holders? Because from what I can see on CX page, it says:
Cadet Pilot Programme – a 61-week programme for applicants with low experience and no ICAO CPL. Preference for this programme will be given to HKID holders.
It only says that HKID holders have a preference to this programme, it says nothing about not closing the programme for others.
And forum member Enae said 2 pages back that one of the recruiters confirmed, what I just wrote.
So please, where did you find out this news that Cadet Pilot Programme is closed?
